    I don't think I said better AND better, just one better was all I suggested. I fear there might - not saying for sure, but there might be a few more scenes that require tissues. But I don't know that a whole box is needed. Glad you're enjoying it, sorry about the tissue expense. Andy

    As close as Jason is to Pop, I think that at this point, it would be difficult for him to go to his grandfather. Sure they're close and he'd expect things to be good, but he also didn't expect his father to cut him loose like that either. So what would you do? Imagine if Pop reacted as badly as his mom? I mean he raised her after all. I think things are going to have to play out in their own way without grandparent interference. But then I see you're on Chapter 25 so you know Jason didn't go to his g-parents to ask for help. LOL

    There are some characters that seem to right themselves, Pop was one of those. I won't say he's my favorite character but he was very easy to read. I'm also a bit concerned that people keep saying I'm making them cry - is my writing THAT bad.

    Jordan is indeed every bit a 'friend' as Darryl said in Chapter 1. Loyalty can sometime blind you to what is really there. Sadly for Jason, his loyalty to Jordan was not returned in kind. Thanks for reading, but you've got a bit to go still

    Personally I think it gets better, but I'm slightly biased. Let me know if you agree as you read

    I think for many reasons this is my favorite story on GA. Part of it is that Anyta and I wrote it together, but the story just seemed to come out. We'd bounce the scenes back and forth and they seemed to come alive - for me at least and I think for Anyta as well. What I find amusing when I reread this, is how easily I can see her ideas and mine, but I have trouble seeing who wrote what part of each. I wish I could write more with her, but we both have our own projects that keep us occupied. Thanks for the review, we both enjoy hearing from people who read the story.

    No idea

    Andrew Q Gordon commented on ryan jo's blog entry in ryan jo's Blog

    Ryan, You should probably talk to someone professional. It doesn't make you weak, or vulnerable. But sometimes it takes someone in the know to steer you where you need to go to open up about the things that are hurting you the most. You probably can't identify it on your own because it doesn't seem like the issue to you. Anyway, another thing that helps - or so I'm told - is taking the train to DC and watching a precocious 10 month old named 'lil q while her daddies go to the movie. Just repeating what I heard.

    My goal had been all along to make the story more character driven - i.e. more about WIll and Ryan's relationship and how they save each other. But I also very much liked the plot as it unfolded. When I started this, the idea was to make the struggle mostly about - if you knew without a shadow of a doubt someone killed an innocent victim, would it be okay to seek vengeance and kill that person as a punishment. It just ended up something a bit different when I was finished. Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Andy

    Yeah, sadly, I am. I'm gonna be one of those parents who embarrasses his kid with how corny and dorky he is - I better work hard to get over it or else she hate me and put in a nursing home the first chance she gets LOL

    W_L, There is some giddiness, there is some relief, and there is a lot more anticipation. It's always great to finish something, there is a feeling of accomplishment. There is also a great deal of relief, that I finally finished it. But for me, by the time I finish something, toward the end it starts to feel too much like work and I'm ready to move on to the next project. When i was working with the editor on Chosen, I remember a point where I told my editor, I was tired of this and wanted to move on the next story and got my retina's singed by the response. I have several project I want to work on, but realistically two is my max and that generally is one new store and one rewrite/edit existing chapters. But that is just me. Andy

    Mark, I fairly certain the Fifth Anendment guarantees me the right to remain silent if answering a question would result in self-incrimination. I think I'm in a no win situation so I'm going to invoke my Constitutional rights and politely decline to answer the question.

    Well I'm sure I'm doing either, just don't ask what I did that i'm doing this for him.

    Good that you found out sooner than later so he can get this fix and get back to being the burr in your saddle you knew and loved. Best to Wayne and dad.

    Weird co-incidence, I joined two years ago today. If I'd have known, I'd have waited a day or two, now, I have to share - and I'm not good at sharing Happy B-day GA!

    Mark you really shouldn't have told people I'm doing this for you - I mean why don't you go ahead and tattoo "Mark's Bitch" on my forehead while you're at it.
  22. Andrew Q Gordon

  23. Andrew Q Gordon

    Perhaps this is a slight bit off topic BUTTTTT - with every sentence in your post ending in an exclamation point, I was reminded of this: Renee and her editor
